Leadership Development

Leaders are increasingly asked to deal with very complex problems. No matter what leadership development programs are in place, leaders need a way to effectively deal with the individual differences among those they lead.

If you are a leader in an organization, we know many of your lie-awake-at-night issues center around people. Do you have the right people? Are they doing the right work? Are they engaged? Are they motivated? Are they getting the work done? Are clients satisfied? And the list goes on. As a leader you have to concern yourself with the organization, teams, and individual contributors. But what about you?

Leadership starts with you. Leaders must first know themselves. It requires self-leadership first. Do you know your natural, innate tendencies that are driving your behavior? They may be contributing to great success or they may be your greatest downfall. How can you lead if you don’t know your strengths, weakness, and blindspots?

Effective leaders must work with the individual differences among those they lead so they can make space for diverse talents and perspectives and shift their communications. How can you lead if you don’t understand those you lead?

You can’t. So we offer some help through coaching and developing special programs. The Berens CORE approach indicates which needs and drives are not being met so help locate a source of deep stress so this work goes beyond personality type information.

We also help leadership development specialists integrate the Berens CORE approach into their programs such as the one developed by US Airways under the guidance of Berens COREworks associate, Linda Ernst.
